Trump's administration filed a lawsuit against the California Department of Education for its policies allowing transgender girls to compete on girls sports teams. The lawsuit argues that these policies violate Title IX, claiming they are unfair and demeaning to girls. The Justice Department asserts that biological differences are not acknowledged and that girls are adversely affected by these policies, missing opportunities for awards and scholarships. California has had laws supporting transgender athletes for over a decade, but these federal actions counter those policies, challenging their legality and impact.
The lawsuit filed by the Justice Department says California's transgender athlete policies violate Title IX, the federal law that bans discrimination in education based on sex.
These discriminatory policies and practices ignore undeniable biological differences between boys and girls, in favor of an amorphous 'gender identity,' the lawsuit says.
The results of these illegal policies are stark: girls are displaced from podiums, denied awards, and miss out on critical visibility for college scholarships and recognition.
Trump criticized the participation of a transgender high school student-athlete who won titles in the California track-and-field championships last month.
